huck finn...

Daniel is so excited. I'm working on the "Old Book Project" today and I found an old copy of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn that we didn't know we had. (hence the project) I'm planning to go through and make a catalog of all of our old books. Anyway, it's really neat that he is so excited. He has read Tom Sawyer & wanted to read Huckleberry Finn, but we never got it & he forgot about it. He was especially excited when he read the first few pages & learned that this book is the sequel. He knew that the books were by the same author, but was not sure how they were related I guess. He sat down & started reading immediately. I bet, if I let him, he will finish it today. It is my goal to be more flexible in my schooling to allow for things like this. It would just be silly to have him stop reading so he can do his math (which is what he is supposed to be doing right now) & then "require" that he read this later to fulfill a literature requirement long after the excitement has worn off. I love that my children get so excited about books and I love homeschooling!
